General Info

The African-American Health Information & Resource Center (AAHIRC) is part of our ongoing commitment to live out the mission "rooted in God's love, we treat illness and promote wellness for all people." The Center is strategically placed in an area that has been plagued with deep persistent poverty for many years. Poverty feeds crime, drugs, homelessness, despair, and robs people of hope for decent affordable housing, good health, education, and good food and nutrition. The Center specifically targets those neighborhoods that are adjacent to the African-American Health Information and Resource Center. To improve the health of African-Americans in Chatham County and the general public, the Center conducts health screenings and sponsors special events specifically targeted to the African-American community's healthcare concerns and the general public health issues.
